Chapter 213: Prestige

However, Hermione's good mood didn't last long. A fifth-year senior rushed over to her and inquired, "I heard you can break solid wood handrails with your bare hands? This must be the effect of practical spellwork. Can you demonstrate?"

Hermione stared at her in disbelief. Are you asking me to publicly perform handrail-breaking?

The senior student also realized her mistake and whispered, "It's okay if it's done privately. I've prepared two copper cauldrons..."

Hermione felt uncomfortable and saw people beginning to gather around. She nervously said, "I have something important to attend to, I need to go back to my dormitory for a moment and will be right back!" Then she hurriedly left.

Hiding in her dorm room for a while, she finally thought of a solution.

This time, she was prepared. She returned to the common room, cleared her throat, and confidently said, "Regarding the proficiency level mentioned in the Magical Script Club announcement, it's something like this." She drew her wand and slowly traced a golden magical script in the air.

A group of students gathered around, curious.

The magical symbols gradually took shape, hanging in the air without dispersing, and everyone watched in silence.

Hermione explained, "Getting to this point is already quite difficult. It's based on a rough grasp and continuous familiarity with the practical script's meaning, allowing it to exist steadily in a short period."

After a few minutes, Hermione flicked her hand, and the golden script flew into her palm. "This is a magical script representing light, which we learned in our third year. The key is to manifest the magical meaning represented by the script." Symbols on her palm suddenly burst into a bright white light.

The young wizards were entranced for a moment. Hermione sighed with relief; it seemed to be effective. At least no one asked her to perform again—

Just then, the twins appeared suddenly. Fred inquired, "Hermione, I remember you also mastered a strength-enhancing spell, which one is it?"

Hermione glared at him, not saying a word, but a halo suddenly enveloped her hand—she had better control over the magical script symbolizing "buffalo strength."

Fred shrank back a little, jokingly saying, "You're not thinking—"

"Exactly, just as you're thinking," Hermione affirmed, taking a step forward.

Fred saw the situation turning unfavorable and hurriedly pulled George along, while many Gryffindor students burst into laughter. Lee Jordan, the twins' mischief-loving friend, cheered excitedly.

Later, they returned to their seats and discussed in hushed voices.

About five days had passed since the recruitment announcement for the Magical Script Club was posted. Many students planning to sign up had already taken action, but a few were still hesitating.

This hesitation was essentially about not wanting to write a seven-foot-long essay, wanting to see if there was a better way. In most cases, the so-called "better way" meant finding a shortcut to quickly master a practical magical script.

Dumbledore nodded approvingly. "Felix, you've solved a significant issue that has troubled the magical world. This method can be applied not only to healing the shattered memories caused by the Heartrend Curse but also to certain stubborn memory injuries."

Felix was momentarily stunned. "I haven't thought about that yet, I've been busy lately." Mainly because no one around him had such a need.

Dumbledore shook his head. "An old friend of mine was attacked by Lohart's Memory Charms, suffering irreversible damage. He's not alone; there are many cases of abuse of Memory Charms. Most people can't receive effective treatment...

Felix, this achievement qualifies you for the St. Mungo's Healing Badge and the Order of Merlin Badge." He implied with a wink.

Felix instantly grasped the Headmaster's intention.

This was a golden opportunity to acquire prestige. With a bit of manipulation, he could be hailed as the "Bane of the Heartrend Curse," the "Ender of Memory Damage," or even the "Master of Memory Charms."

Felix's heart raced. Among his public labels, "Muggle Studies Expert" and "Hogwarts Professor" were widely recognized, offering tremendous convenience in normal social interactions.

However, in the eyes of a few, he might still be seen as the "Ancient Magical Script Traitor" or the "Dark Lord Reserve" and other unfriendly titles.

Hmm... the former referred to those old fogies from the Ancient Magical Script Society, while the latter was likely some pure-blood families he had intimidated.

Though he despised mundane socializing and political maneuvering, he didn't mind expanding his influence.

Whether it was the St. Mungo's Healing Badge or the Order of Merlin Badge, they were both highly renowned distinctions.

Suppressing his excitement, he neither confirmed nor denied, saying, "Dumbledore, some magic is crucial to me. I don't plan to share it publicly in the short term."

Dumbledore understood this well and calmly advised, "No one will force you to share your magic, Felix. In fact, most healers wouldn't be able to reach your level... With just the branch of Memory Charms, you're already standing at the pinnacle of the wizarding world."

"My suggestion is to develop a set of effective healing methods that are far below your own level..."
